Your Weekly Women to Listen to: LP, Barb Wire Dolls and more

Top o’ the hump day to you all! As is my usual Wednesday complaint, Iam incredibly tired today. Last night I went to a great event forChicago’s lesbians and was then bamboozled into staying out until thebar lights came up and had to set my alarm to rudely wake me four hourslater. Thankfully, Santigold‘shot jam “Big Mouth” was passed my way this morning and hasthrown some energy into my brain. Moving right along, here are fourmore acts to get you through the rest of the week.

Bonus: The band has been aroundsince 1992 and is still making music. It seems as though their morerecent tunes are more in line with electro-pop than it is alternativerock so you might have to do some digging around to find their harderstuff. Here’s a look back at one of their old live shows performing thetitle track to their 1997 album “Devil Came to Me.”

Bonus: While much of her musicis sung in French, Andrea is actually a native English speaker. In thisinterview, Andrea discusses learning French and being awarded theJunoaward for the Best Francophone album in 2010. I am no expert when itcomes to French, but it sounds to me like she nailed it.

Bonus: If you aren’t saying“Holy crap” by the three minute mark of this video, youmight not have a heartbeat and should probably consult a doctor. Thankyou to Darcy for introducingme to this incredible talent.

That’s all for this week! Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday and I’ll beback with more artists to check out next week. In the meantime, feelfree to follow me on Twitter or friend me on Facebook!
